New York & United States

Luxury executive search in New York — leadership for American luxury.

The United States is the world’s largest luxury market, and New York is where much of it is led. We conduct retained board, chief executive and C-suite search across American luxury, premium consumer and lifestyle businesses, sourcing leaders who can hold brand and scale together.

The market

Why the US market is distinct

The United States is the largest luxury market in the world, and it leads on its own terms — defined by scale, by premium consumer power, by a sophisticated retail and digital landscape, and by a leadership culture that prizes commercial growth and brand-building in equal measure.

American luxury and premium consumer businesses, and the US operations of global houses, require leadership that understands this market’s particular dynamics: its pace, its channels, its consumer, and its distinct relationship with heritage and newness.

Transatlantic and global search

Much of our US work is transatlantic — placing European leadership into American businesses, American leadership into global houses, and connecting the two markets that most define global luxury. We map and approach leaders across both with equal fluency.
